Ingredients
  

  • 4 small-medium russet potatoes peeled
  • cup green onion sliced into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 red chilli sliced (omit if you prefer no spice)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon regular soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoon white vinegar or sub with Chinese black vinegar, rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Slice peeled potatoes into thin slices at ½-cm wide to ensure a quicker cooking process. Tip: if you have a mandolin slicer, carefully use that for a quicker preparation.
    Soak potato slices in cold water for a couple of minutes and strain the excess starch. Shake out as much excess water as possible and dry the potatoes with a clean paper towels.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Then fry garlic and red chilli. Tip: turn on the stove and avoid inhaling the red chilis as they can cause you to cough uncontrollably.
  • Add shredded potatoes and toss with aromatics.
  • Season with salt, regular soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Mix well. Cook for 6-8 minutes until potatoes are tender to taste. Be careful not to overcook them or they will soften and loose their crispness.
  • Finally add green onions and white vinegar. Toss again and serve hot to enjoy!
